[PATCH] tpm: fix potential NULL pointer access in tpm_del_char_device()

From: Lino Sanfilippo
Date: Fri Sep 10 2021 - 14:06:45 EST


In tpm_del_char_device() make sure that chip->ops is still valid.
This check is needed since in case of a system shutdown
tpm_class_shutdown() has already been called and set chip->ops to NULL.
This leads to a NULL pointer access as soon as tpm_del_char_device()
tries to access chip->ops in case of TPM 2.
